Answer:

<em>John is 20 and Mary is 15.</em>

Explanation:

Let John = X and Mary = Y be the present age.  

X = Y+5

2(X+10)-(Y+10) = 35

2(Y+5+10)-(Y+10) = 35

2Y+30-Y-10=35

<u><em>Y=15</em></u>

<u><em>X=20 </em></u>

Therefore: 2*30-25=35

In other words, in ten years' time, Johns age will be double the age of Mary: 30=2*15"

Answer:

C). Can enforce James's pledge on the grounds of promissory estoppel based on a charitable subscription.

Explanation:

A charitable subscription is demonstrated as a promise in which a party promises to make a donation to an educational, charitable, or religious institution.

As per the question, Helping Hands Inc. possesses the ability to 'enforce James's pledge on the grounds of promissory estoppel based on a charitable description'. Conventionally, such promises were not enforceable as they are not backed by appropriate legal consideration. But, the modern view allows adding exceptions in the general rule through application of the doctrine of promissory estoppel. Thus, Helping Hands is now allowed to enforce its promise on the basis of promissory estoppel. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

What were two aspects of Wegener's continental drift hypothesis that were objectionable to most Earth scientists?
gtnhenbr [62]

Alfred Wegener had two flaws with his initial hypothesis. They are as follows:

i) Gravitational forces of the moon and sun, and tidal forces act as the mechanism to move the continents across the globe.

ii) Larger and sturdier continents broke through thinner oceanic crust like boat cutting through a thin layer of sea ice.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Alfred Lothar Wegener was a great meteorologist and German polar researcher. He was commonly known for his <u>“theory of continental drift”. </u>

In this theory, they proposed an idea that the continents were slowly drifting around the Earth. Many researchers objected his view. But he provided many evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis.

Some of the evidences are: Continental jigsaw puzzle, Fossils match across the seas, Rock types and geologic features and Ancient Climates.
